    Judging from the colonies the last one looks like a "mint green" stag. Looks nice, voted for your tank on NR. ;D

    So. It's been a while since I have been on here or updated on account of some "friendly" pm's I received a while back in regards to my opinion on not keeping tangs in small tanks (which I'm obviously against..)
    Anyways let's not get into that.


    We recently moved so the tank came along with us. I ended up removing all the sand, and going completely bare bottom as well as selling off the lps and upgrading my 250 powerheads to 3x450 as the tank is going to be sps dominated long term.

    I installed 2 phosban 150 reactors running gfo and carbon, and started prodibio bioptim, and biodigest as I'm hoping to achieve a ULNS (ultra low nutrient system. for those who don't know.) I finally bought am RO/DI unit AMD installed it to top of my reservoir automatically via float switches and have and auto water change system in place as well now. Very simple, 2 pumps, one leads to the drain and on leads to the sump from a mixing tank. Only doing 5g weekly waterchanges. But its been super easy since working this in. I just flip the pumps on and watch. Lol. Anyway with out further adieu my most recent tank shot taken with my phone.

    Thanks Corailline, now if these darn frags could grow into mini colonies I'd be happening. Lol. I love the BB as well, super easy to clean, my nutrients have gone down substantially and in just a month and a half its nearly 2/3 covered with coraline algae. So win win. On another note I forgot to post this in my update, we are buying a house this spring! So I will be building a new tank (min. Of 120g!) I can't wait.
